I had my first fill today 2cc, I don't know what size band I have but I think it is the smaller one. I have been so hunger for the past 3 weeks. My doctor said I should start to feel restriction now. I am discouraged I don't feel the restriction yet and I am only down about 25lbs and I have over 60 to go. I guess I just need some encouraging words. My best friend got banded 12/11/06 and she is down 50 lbs and only have another 10 or so to go - she looks fantasitc and I am so happy for her. But it's hard to see her progress and not got anxious for my own .

When did you get banded? If you just got your first fill, I'll assume it was about 4-6 weeks ago. It's not a competition.

You're doing great. 25 lbs is a lot of weight.

Just hang in there.

OK I see now you were banded 2-26-07. She had a head start...

Everyone loses at a different rate, and often the more you have to lose, the faster it goes at first. Think about it this way---since you are going to have to work a little harder at it---you will learn good eating habits---and they will stick with you---you will always have them to fall back on for maintenance as well.

I have been banded for a year almost, and still have over 35 pounds to lose---but it will happen---not tomorrow or next week----but it WILL happen! Meanwhile---I feel great!!! I am succeeding! And you are too! You are LOSING weight, not gaining---we are heading in the right direction!!!

Hello Troy....

Please throw that scale away. I absolutely REFUSE to bring one into my home. I wait until my Dr's appointment to step on a scale.

Even though you are doing a FABULOUS job at your weight loss, it still fluctuates. Please, keep your sanity and restrict yourself from stepping on that scale. Focus on continuing your exercises and eating healthy. You'll find that your clothes won't fit anymore and have increased energy.

Your FABULOUS, Toy, keep up the good work!!!!!

If I am reading this correctly you are down 25 lbs in less than 5 weeks. That is a ton of weight to lose in that short of time. Keep up the good work and don't compare yourself to your friend.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
